Hello Ro and Frank
I am also in Melbourne and studying flexible funding models. I have some
information about local and overseas models and would be happy to be
involved in discussions with others interested in the same area.

Doctoral studiesA colleague has contacted me re the UK model of Self

and apply this model.
Thanks,

Dear Frank,
As mentioned on the phone I am studying the Doctorate of Social Work,
part time at VUT with Carolyn Noble. This is a new course that is
work-based and the research topic needs to be related to the workplace.
It is early days, but I am interested in researching the UK model of
Self Directed Services. I heard Simon Duffy give a seminar last week
funded by DHS Disability in partnership with National Disability
Services Peak on the SDS model that has been piloted in UK for the past
4-5 years. DHS Disability are obviously interested and have rolled out
the individual planning and support policy here which is aligned but not
the full model. I don't as yet know who else is researching this topic
and would be interested to know:
a.. who is the main contact at DHS Disability who can inform me of
current policy orientation to this model?
b.. who is currently, or is about to, research at post graduate level
on this topic?
I am interested in theoretical and practice concepts of "individual and
community empowerment", citizenship, human rights as played out in this
model. It might be interesting to contrast impacts in Aust and UK and/or
any other country that is implementing this approach.
I am looking forward to meeting you on Monday 3, and chatting with you
about this. I would very much value your knowledge of this field and any
contacts that could help.
Cheers, Ro
